description Overview
Murchison
After falling near Murchison in Victoria, Australia, in 1969, the Murchison meteorite became an important source of evidence about organic chemistry beyond Earth. It is a CM2 carbonaceous chondrite, a classification that places it among chemically primitive meteorites whose minerals also record alteration by water. Its abundant organic compounds include numerous amino acids, making it a significan...

Orgueil
Orgueil is a CI1 carbonaceous chondrite meteorite that fell near Orgueil in southern France on 14 May 1864. CI chondrites are chemically primitive, fine-grained rocks rich in hydrated minerals and organic compounds, and their nonvolatile elemental abundances closely resemble those measured in the solar photosphere. Because the material has undergone extensive alteration by water on its parent body...
